Windows 7 - Still on the RC... |

Still on the RC...
Hey there.
I'm still using 7RC. Do I miss anything from not upgrading (or clean install haha) to the RTM?
I don't know when I will be able to move to the RTM... depends if I'm able to do any money any time soon. But, that's personal matters.
Anyway, what do I miss while I'm staying on the RC?

Anyway, what do I miss while I'm staying on the RC? Aside from any bug fixes between RC and Retail? Not much. RTM has no new features (that I can think of) that RC did not have.  | | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Custom | Whitebox

I'm planning to buy... but I'm... only money short. A re-install loop isn't an option. I hate re-installing my own machine. | | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Custom build
